The reviews for Calcutta Chronicles' were not only unexpected - they were elating and above all humbling - I always thought of myself as someone who could draw sad faces better than happy ones (I actually can!). So for my readers (at least the 400 of them who seem to have read the previous one - and for the others - Justice Sen, Protik Da, Sourav Sengupta, Shumi, Shomdeep Ghosh, Abhijan, Dippy Ghosh and all of them who took their precious time out to comment and encourage) here is a list of my other writings that I have written over the last two years, which might just help or even make you happier. With Love, Subhro Sengupta (and forgive them for...

This blog is with respect to a question that baffles many a law aspirants. Each year thousands of students give the CLAT and AILET exams. Even though CLAT has 12 colleges under its ambit, it all comes down to Bangalore and Hyderabad. Every appearing candidate hopes to make it through these two colleges. These colleges help you get a handsome package, they say. Others say that the faculty is at par with Oxford. But hey, there is NLU-D too, the candidate asks. "NLU-D? It isnt tested beta." pat comes the reply. NLU-D, established in 2007 is a toddler whereas NLSIU has already reached its 20's. The former is full of hopes, while the latter is tried and tested. NLU-D has a...

So, you made it to Gujarat National Law University (GNLU) ? Or thinking of joining it next year ?
Well there are a lot of things (good/bad) that you might have heard about it. All the NLU's have merits and demerits. All the non-NLU colleges will detest the NLU's (generally) for one reason or the other and the NLU's will always think that they are better, in more ways than one.
GNLU is no different. It will complete 7 years this July. It has definitely grown from strength to strength but has it grown enough ?
I will definitely not tell you the rank of GNLU amoung the NLUs. One very big reason for that is that I don't...

aThe times when news channels are taking interview of IIT topper and newspapers flooded with coaching centres advertisment claiming the first ranker, parents of CLAT ( Common Law Admission Test !! , if you dont know ) topper were telling their neighbours " you know there is an exam called CLAT and my daughter has topped it". The reaction from other side was " oh she didn't get into engineering !! " . Unfortunately legal education in India has always been neglected post independence, thanks to Mr Nehru. Cancellation of BAR exam in 1961 further detioriated the legal proffession in India. It was a perception that only those students opted law who could not get admission in other courses. Even...
